Why You Should Join Toastmasters
You might just discover your deepest truth
When was the last time you acknowledged yourself?
Or gave yourself credit for what you’ve accomplished?
I don’t know if I’ve ever done that.
My inner critic tells me that a quick pat on the back will turn into full-blown narcissism.
But that’s total BS and I know it.
So in an attempt to practice what I preach, here we go…
Writing this is a metaphorical high-five from present Gregory to my past self.
For having the courage to FINALLY join a Toastmasters club over a year ago.
It was something that I had said I wanted to do for years.
But like nearly everyone, I kept putting it off.
It took my sister GETTING MARRIED to finally move me into action.
I had a best man speech to give and I didn’t want to ruin her special day.
So I went to Toastmasters every week for over a year.
I gave speeches, I volunteered to be president, and I sweat through a lot of shirts.
In the end, it all paid off.
